getting ready for the O Music Awards 

so pre-sales this morning for my last of the great pretenders tour were off the hook! thank you, i’m blown away!! a bunch of the pre-sales have sold out and the others are real close.

also, if you DIDN’T see your city in the list, don’t freak out… we are announcing more dates over the next month or so.

i want to record a cover. acoustic. and thought it would be fun to see which one you all wanted to hear most. i posted a poll for you to cast your vote. yay, democracy!

so… research the songs, listen, then vote HERE: http://poll.fm/49r90

owning one of these is a bucketlist dream. #sexyasssexy

cool picture from the benefit i did for youth renewal fund a few weeks ago. fun show, great cause.
